I recently made the transition to start a new business (digital marketing for small businesses) at the beginning of this year and to be honest, the main reason why I chose it for the unlimited income potential. I want to earn a lot to create financial abundance for my family. However, as I’m going through this, I’m finding that I don’t like it because I feel like I’m working on something superficial. In reality, what I really want to do is to become a life coach. I find more meaning and purpose in doing that kind of work.
I thought maybe I could just find a job, learn what I can and figure out how to apply it to my coaching business, then next year go through the coaching certification. I’ve spent a lot of money on training and decided to join a small agency on contract to get good experience and confidence in what I’m doing. I haven’t found my own clients yet and plan to start doing so in the second half of the year. But I find that every day is a struggle to get excited because I know what kind of work I really want to do.
How should I think about this situation? Any insights would be great. Thanks!
